Absentee Owners / Second Home Seller Letter

Fourteen percent of all home sales this year came from one group: owners who don’t live in the property they’re selling. (Source: NAR)

Second homes. Absentee owners. Landlords dealing with repairs, vacancies, and shifting returns.

They may not be raising their hands, but many are re‑evaluating what they own and why.

This campaign is built to reach them where they are, before they make their next move.Your job? Put it in play and start turning this segment into your next source of listings.

The Anti-Hype Letter

In a shifting market, fear is cheap (and everywhere).

You can’t scroll YouTube without someone predicting the “big crash” or shouting “sell now before it’s too late.”

But here’s the thing: the data says otherwise. Decades of housing history show that every downturn recovers.

Which means panic‑selling is the fastest way to turn a temporary dip into a permanent loss.

That’s why this letter takes the opposite approach. Instead of peddling fear, it positions you as the steady, long‑view professional who helps people sell for the right reasons: fit, timing, lifestyle.

It’s the kind of message that builds trust when others are burning it.Send it monthly to your farm and watch your share of the market grow when confidence is in short supply.

Coming Soon: Skip the Waitlist

Scarcity sells, especially in real estate.

Tell someone they can’t have something, and suddenly it’s all they can think about.

That’s the psychology behind this campaign. It opens with a line most agents would never dare send: “I really shouldn’t share this listing with you…”

From there, it trades in curiosity, not information. No price. No exact address. Just a handful of vivid details, a whisper of exclusivity, and a simple CTA: text “VIP” to learn more.

This isn’t about announcing a listing, it’s about creating demand before it hits the market.Send it, and you’re not just marketing a home. You’re making it feel like an opportunity buyers can’t afford to miss.

IG Poll: A deal that’s hard to find in [City]

You already know the power of Deal of the Week. This version is built for Stories.

We start with the hook, then layer in the details, then highlight the features that make this one stand out. Only after the curiosity builds do you invite them to raise their hand. In recent tests, that structure alone delivered 6x more engagement.

The hook itself? We pulled it from one of the 1,200 top‑performing Instagram posts we track at Listing Leads, and built the rest so you can execute fast.

Not sure which listing to feature?

Start here:

  • Filter for new listings (within the last 7 days)
  • Focus on your target price point
  • Stay in your ideal neighborhood or farm area

That should give you a pool of 50–70 listings.

From there, zero in on the one with the highest saves or views—that’s the listing with heat behind it.

Use this format to test urgency, stay visible with buyers, and stay top of mind.

IG Poll: Stuck?

The data says it all: many buyers aren’t stuck because they’ve lost interest—they’re stuck because they’re not sure what to do next.

Cotality’s latest research found that only 7% described the buying process as straightforward. The rest hit moments of doubt, kept questions to themselves, and moved forward without full clarity. Sometimes they didn’t know who to ask. Sometimes they felt they should already know.

That’s why this poll works. It gives buyers a low‑pressure way to say, “Yep, I’m unsure.” And once they do, you have an open door to guide them—turning uncertainty into momentum, and curiosity into conversations.

The Reverse Offer Strategy

Sometimes the smartest move is the one no one’s expecting.

There’s one high-leverage play most agents never mention—and most sellers never consider.

The Reverse Offer Strategy in The Summer Expired Series flips the dynamic. Instead of waiting for buyers to make a move, you make the first one. With precision. With confidence. With a complete offer tailored to someone who already showed interest.

This campaign feels personal and consultative, like you're sharing a trade secret.

It’s especially effective for homeowners who feel close to giving up. Why? Because it introduces a bold strategy at the exact moment they think they’ve run out of options.

And just like every campaign in this series, it closes with the familiar CTA: a 15-minute Summer Strategy Call that builds trust through repetition and offers real next steps.

Advanced Tactics

Price isn’t always the problem. Exposure is.

Most sellers assume their home didn’t sell because it was priced too high. 

And sometimes, that’s true. But more often, it’s because their agent never got the home in front of the right buyers.

That’s what this campaign challenges head-on.

Campaign 4 of The Summer Expired Series introduces a set of high-leverage marketing strategies most sellers have never heard of—reverse prospecting, YouTube pre-roll, geo-fenced retargeting, and more. It’s not smoke and mirrors. It’s smart, targeted exposure.

And it does two things instantly:

  1. Reframes the seller’s thinking.
  2. Elevates your positioning.

The tone stays grounded, never hypey. The message: you have options beyond a price cut—and a partner who knows how to execute.

And once again, we repeat the same call-to-action—because repetition builds recognition, trust, and momentum.

This campaign is a powerful differentiator for any seller who thinks they’ve “tried everything.”

Before You Take the Summer Off…

When a listing doesn’t sell, it’s easy to hit pause—especially in the summer.

This campaign meets homeowners in that moment. It doesn’t push. It presents. Three timely, data-backed reasons to reconsider waiting: falling rates, motivated buyers with deadlines, and rising competition on the horizon.

We start with empathy. We follow with insight. And we close with the same clear CTA sellers have seen in Campaigns 1 and 2 of The Summer Expired Series—because repetition builds trust, reduces friction, and creates a sense of steady, strategic momentum.

Every campaign in this series drives toward the same action: A 15-minute Summer Strategy Call that positions you as the agent with a plan—not just a pitch.

Home Sale Scorecard

Every seller wants a better result—but few stop to assess what actually went wrong.

That’s what makes this campaign in The Summer Expired Series different.

Instead of jumping into a new plan or pushing for a price drop, we hand the homeowner a mirror. The Home Sale Scorecard invites them to evaluate their last listing like a pro would—with clear, direct questions about pricing, prep, marketing, and exposure.

It’s simple, disarming, and incredibly effective. Because once a seller sees the gaps, they’re far more open to a better strategy—and a better agent.

This isn’t about assigning blame. It’s about creating clarity.

And clarity builds confidence.

A self-assessment that resets the conversation—and sets the stage for a smarter relist strategy.

5 Ways to Instantly Attract More Buyers

Don’t ask for the listing. Earn their attention first.

When a seller feels burned by the process, the last thing they want is another pitch.

What they do want? Proof that you're different. That you're helpful before you're hired. That you see details others overlook.

That’s why Campaign 1 in The Summer Expired Series leads with value.

Instead of telling homeowners how to “boost curb appeal” or “increase value,” we flip the script—Here’s how to instantly attract more buyers…without a major reno.

This first postcard sets the tone: generous, strategic, and persuasive. It meets sellers where they are—hesitant, but still hopeful—and gives them quick wins they can trust.

Downsizing Postcard

The best marketing connects with your audience by addressing their unique situations and challenges. Customers aren’t one-size-fits-all—they’re a mix of life stages, from newlyweds to retirees, each with specific needs and motivations. The smartest agents know that niching down their message is the fastest way to drive up their revenue.

One niche you might be overlooking? Downsizers. A recent survey by Bright MLS found that 6% of homeowners over 60 plan to sell this year, with downsizing as their number one reason. By crafting messaging that speaks directly to their pain points—like rising costs, excess space, or the desire for simpler living—you can position yourself as the go-to agent for this high-potential market.

We've included 4 different Canva templates for you to choose from (or A/B test).

Off-Market Sales

When it comes to re-engaging leads, the right question can make all the difference. Pair that with a relevant data point (in this case, off-market listings) and you have a powerful combination to start a conversation. The source of this data point is from BatchService and surfaced by Lance Lambert, co-founder of ResiClub:

According to an analysis by BatchService, approximately 1.2 million U.S. home sales in 2024 were conducted off-market. Given that the National Association of Realtors reported about 5 million existing-home sales in 2024, this suggests that roughly 24% of home sales occurred off-market.

“Has anyone ever walked you through…” is a great example. It positions you as a knowledgeable expert while keeping the tone soft and approachable.

Serious Buyers Only (CA)

‍If you want to attract serious buyers, your messaging needs to be clear, direct, and laser-focused on their goals. Think of this campaign as Part I of the Magic Buyer Strategy, which answers the critical question: How do you find serious buyers? 

If you sell a significant percentage of homes off-market, be sure to include that data point in the email.

This campaign’s goal is to get serious buyers to raise their hand by showing them you have access to opportunities they can’t find on their own.

To build credibility, include a recent buyer testimonial in the P.S. This reinforces your results and shows prospects the value of working with you.

Serious Buyers Only

If you want to attract serious buyers, your messaging needs to be clear, direct, and laser-focused on their goals. Think of this campaign as Part I of the Magic Buyer Strategy, which answers the critical question: How do you find serious buyers? The key is to highlight what most buyers don’t know—like the fact that 1.2 million U.S. home sales in 2024 happened off-market, roughly 24% of all transactions. 

Pro tip: if you sell a significant percentage of homes off-market, replace the national stat with your own for even greater impact.

VOTW: Magic Buyer

If you’re working with qualified buyers but struggling to find the right homes, you’re not stuck—you’re set up for a Magic Buyer strategy.

This approach doesn’t just help your buyers; it sparks conversations, builds relationships, and uncovers off-market opportunities.

Think of this Instagram Reel script as your Magic Buyer “Roundup”—a chance to represent multiple buyers at once while positioning yourself as the agent who goes the extra mile.

As you adapt it to your audience, make sure to:

  • Highlight who your buyers are.
  • Provide the criteria of what they’re looking for.
  • End with a direct response CTA to drive action.
